New Zealand
New Zealand Immigration Medicals:
Applicants for permanent residency are required to bring with them:
- Passport photos
- Passports
- Form INZ 1007 – one for each applicant – New Zealand Immigration Form.
Please bring any available medical reports on operations or current medical conditions – we can request further details if we consider it advisable to do so. In this case the applicant simply completes and signs a consent form at the time of the medical, we then write to your GP requesting a medical report – the system works very well. We make no additional charge for this; the GP usually charges the applicant a reasonable administration fee for writing the report.
The blood test includes lipids and glucose for all applicants aged 15 years and older, hence it is preferable to attend having fasted (drink eg water/black tea/black coffee only) for the preceding 12 hours.
Charges (including 20% VAT and postage):
- Medical CXR & Blood Tests required for applicants 15 and over - £295.00
- Medical & CXR required for applicant 11 and over - £175.00
- Children under 11 - £66.00
We accept cash, cheques and most major credit/debit cards.
VAT:
The current position as advised by HMRC Policy and Solicitor’s Office (personal communication from HMRC to Dr Tallent, 25 January 2011) is that VAT is payable on all Australian and New Zealand immigration medicals carried out in the UK, backdated to 2007, irrespective of any advice or ruling to the contrary previously issued by other HMRC departments or officials, unless there are other relevant circumstances, eg revenue of the business entity is below the VAT threshold. Please see HMRC website for details.
